Woodward Outreach

A new mission for Ferndale's unhoused. Launching October 2024.

A History of Helping

Our faith calls us to comfort our neighbors in whatever way they are hurting. Ferndale First has long provided basic needs to the unhoused population along Woodward Avenue. Simply providing a clean set of clothes or a safe place to shower gives a massive boost to the spirit of transient folks. 

But we are called to elevate this mission to a new level. That’s why Ferndale First has partnered with Troy First UMC to expand our unhoused ministries and package them into one powerful mission: Woodward Outreach.

Ministries are Better Together

Every Monday and Friday, Ferndale First will open our doors to anyone and everyone. We will provide our full slate of ministries to anyone in need:

  • Free hot meal and sandwich to-go
  • Access to our Community Clothing Closet for season-appropriate clothing
  • Private showers and laundry facilities
  • Free adult incontinence supplies

Feel called to comfort our community?
